How is the Riserva different from the standard Sivà?

It is aged on the lees for approximately 60 months versus around 36 months for the standard bottling, resulting in greater complexity and more pronounced citrus and toasty notes.

What does 'Pas Dosé' mean?

Some vintages of this Riserva are bottled with zero dosage (no added sugar liqueur), showcasing the wine's pure fruit and lees-driven character.

What food pairs well with it?

Richer seafood dishes, aged cheeses, and celebratory tasting menus suit its added complexity and structure.

About Alta Langa DOCG Riserva Sivà 60 Mesi

Style: Sparkling
Grape Varieties: Chardonnay
Price Range: $28-35; estimate based on the estate's base Sivà pricing of $20-25 plus the premium typical of 60-month Riserva Metodo Classico wines; not currently confirmed distributed in Japan

The Riserva expression of Sivà, aged on the lees for 60 months — nearly double the base bottling — under the Alta Langa DOCG Riserva designation. Made in a Pas Dosé (zero dosage) style in vintages such as 2013, it shows particular complexity, with immediate citrus aromas of cedar and orange, lemongrass, apple and pineapple, reflecting the extended lees aging.

Sommelier's Note

Since 2022, Abrigo Fratelli has offered two tiers of Sivà — the 36-month version and this 60-month Riserva — and the extra two years on lees deliver a noticeably deeper, more citrus-driven complexity worth seeking out.

New to wine?

A more serious, complex sparkling wine best suited to those who already enjoy traditional-method sparklers and want to explore extended lees aging.

Food Pairings

Its extra complexity and structure make it a strong match for richer seafood preparations, aged cheeses, and celebratory tasting menus.
